As someone who's had to wear a P100 half-mask respirator for reasonable periods (2-3 hours) before, it's not really a big deal unless you have respiratory issues. Even the chain-smoking chuds at my old work who refused to mask because it made "breathing too hard" had no issues wearing one.

I remember having to do a gig where we had to wear respiratory masks a few years ago and our union had mandated that you could not wear them for more than 4 consecutive hours and for a total of 8 hours a day, due to the risk of developing liquid in your lungs. I've never looked into it since, but it's always freaked me out. Beats having COVID tho

Thanks; I haven't tried one and was only going by what a friend who introduced me to elastomeric masks said.
